14ga, 40 amp, 221 ipm I checked the distance from the material after the z calibration and it was .060. I don't know if it could have changed during the run. I checked the torch height today after thinking it was still at cut height after possible flame out from yesterday. It was .097. Is that high ...

First day trying to run some parts and the cnc stops constantly. I had just updated the acorn software. Ran a new z calibration. stopping during cutting and was able to resume probably 10 times then the last time it wouldn't let me resume. report_20D77882D92D-0819226477_2023-10-14_16-54-37.zip I'm a...

The z dove about an 1/8 from completing the part on an outside perimeter cut. Running cheap stepper online steppers and gecko 203v drives.

Ran one of the trial parts that comes with acorn. using 3/16 steel. Ist part thc was good. 2nd part torch hit material. 3rd part forgot to set xy zero and the torch halfway through program missed the plate and hit the hard stop on z axis. my fault but I had a soft limit of -5 inches and z traveled -...

Thanks for the advice. Maybe my problem of the torch diving was that I selected 20 gage fc and have regular consumables. Just ordered fc consumables. Thanks again!

I changed from 1/8 thick material to 20 ga material and in the profile manager it showed 40 amp for 20 gage steel fc and so I lowered the plasma from 45 amp to 40 amp. thought I'd try some thin material to see how well the thc would handle the warpage. I don't know what fc stands for. I'm just cutti...

Joey got that all working with your help. Ran torch calibration test cut. worked good tip at .060 above material. Ran hook test cut and torch dives into material. It cut the holes fine except they aren't very round. On the line cuts the torch dives hard into the material. report_20D77882D92D-0819226...

My float switch trips at .040 after tip touch off. I input that in the wizard and after hitting the auto touch off cycle the torch is only .970 above the material instead of the 1.000 it's supposed to be. If I change the float switch off set nothing changes. I even changed the off set to .400 and th...

Trying to home the plasma z axis for the first time. The home switch makes the light trip on the acorn board, but the z axis still keeps moving up. I have x,y and z axises homing on separate inputs. Also, the z axis at first was moving up in a positive direction when I hit the z- button on the scree...

Thanks
